Alviston Wunungmurra

The Marrma’ Rom Two Worlds Foundation welcomed Alviston Wunungmurra to the program in early November 2015. Alviston, aka Alvo, is from Gapuwiyak. Alvo is very close family with Isaac (a past member), in fact in their culture he calls Isaac ‘Dad’ and he also called Cam ‘Dad’ which is a really nice relationship to have in the house. Alviston enjoyed playing basketball and joined the Rovers team in 2016. In term 2, 2017 Alviston changed schools and started attending the Flexible Learning Centre – St. Joseph’s, which is located in central Geelong. He made a great start there and it was his goal to continue his education at this campus. He finished the year but decided to return to Gapuwiyak in 2018. It was great to see Alviston return for a quick visit in October 2018 to attend the 2 Worlds Festival. He danced in the opening ceremony and also played didg on stage with Yirrmal and the Miliyawutj and Baker Boy. We are sure we will see him return to Geelong for another visit whenever he gets a chance.

“I recently had Yirrmal Marika stay with me for several days to do some songwriting and I was impressed with his confidence, judgement, sense of responsibility and eagerness to learn. He is a fine young man and is destined to not only be a role model in his home community but an important contributor in the shaping of our nation’s future. His participation in the Marrma’ Rom Two Worlds Foundation programme has been instrumental to his progress”.
